3/4 Pin 500mA Fixed 8V Positive Voltage Regulator

This series of fixed-voltage integrated-circuit voltage RegulatorsUA78M08 is designed for a wide range of applications. These applications include on-card regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with single-point regulation. Each of these RegulatorsCAN deliver up to 500 mA of output current. The internal current-limiting and thermal-shutdown features of these Regulators essentially make them immune to overload. In addition to use as fixed-voltage Regulators these devices CAN be used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents and also as the power-pass element in precision Regulators By Texas Instruments
